Sonic Space
For this project I didn't really have any idea of what I wanted to do with all of my sounds, I collected 13 sounds, and used all of them. Most of the sounds were from doing things I usually do every day, like taking vitamins, filling up a water bottle, feeding my pet rats, turning on lights and shutting doors, the rest of the songs were from things I heard naturally around my house, the dogs barking, cats meowing etc.
At first I didn't want to manipulate any of the sounds, but I ended up reversing a few of them because I like the way it sounded completely different from the original sound, and I didn't really want any of the sounds to be recognizable, so I built them up creating an overwhelming sense of anxiety (at least thats what I felt after listening to it.)
I think this piece sort of represents my mood throughout the day, it starts off with only a few sounds until it builds and builds, and after a while it gives me a headache from all the different sounds going off at once, and it's hard to concentrate on just one. Until finally each sound drops off and I'm left with the noises of my rats in their cages. So overall, it's like a map of my day through different sounds. And when I listen to it I get headache, just like the headaches I get throughout each day.
